There is no fixed version for RHEL:7 python-debug.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream python-debug package and not the python-debug package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

tarfile.tar_filter could be bypassed using crafted link entries, including symlinks with empty or directory-like names, to redirect later archive members outside the intended extraction directory. This allowed a malicious tar archive to cause tarfile.extractall() with filter="tar" to write files outside the destination directory, subject to the permissions of the extracting process.

This is the tarfile.tar_filter counterpart of CVE-2026-7774, which covered tarfile.data_filter.
